Women in IT

[Churchill]

Being a rear-echelon potato-peeler like you could equally well have been done by a woman, SB.

I spent nearly all of the last 11 years with women as bosses. Either I do girlie work, or it's a coincidence, or they just like managing me.

But they've been as right as rain for the most part.

Well thats you at the top of the "CUK Most Shaggable" list

Come on i know i must be in the top 5 somewhere...start a poll...

Excactly - Most clients give me a role instead of a man not because my IT knowledge is better than them, its because I demonestate my awarenes of client and user relation - ability to convince others to give me their time and ability to gain sign off & buy ins from other stakeholders /project sponsors.... clients know they can get cheap indian techies for nothing, but client awareness and management is something that they can't find in most men applicants

I think you'll find it's because you have t1ts. This in turn allows you to more easily 'gain sign off & buy ins' but don't start believing it has anything to do with your super powers of 'client awareness and management'.

It's the ones that get the gig because they have t1ts but don't realise this that cause problems. Don't start messing with things you don't understand love, just sit there and look nice, theres a good girl. We'll give you a call if we want you in a meeting to encourage other attendees or if a client comes calling that needs sweet talking. In the meantime file your nails or something sweetie, just please don't try and do anything.

Of course women are supposed to prefer to have men working for them rather tham women. Men are easier to manipulate...

I've been on a break. When i used rule the threads round here, in the peak of my best days as a contractor there was not one single women on this board. About 2years ago now.

only the ones who pretended to be women like bloody Wendigo.

That's interesting - I don't remember fancying any of them. There must be a psychological reason for that.
